1 T hese are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob. Each one came with those of his house:

Haddaba waa kuwan magacyadii wiilashii Israa'iil, oo Masar yimid; nin walba iyo reerkiisiiba waxay la yimaadeen Yacquub.

2 R euben, Simeon, Levi, Judah,

Ruubeen, Simecoon, Laawi iyo Yahuudah,

3 I ssachar, Zebulun, Benjamin,

Isaakaar, Sebulun, iyo Benyaamiin,

4 D an, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

Daan iyo Naftaali, iyo Gaad iyo Aasheer.

5 T here were seventy people in Jacob’s family. But Joseph was already in Egypt.

Oo dadkii ka soo go'ay xanjaadkii Yacquub oo dhammu waxay ahaayeen toddobaatan qof; Yuusufna Masar buu markii hore joogay.

6 J oseph and all his brothers died and all their families of that time.

Yuusufna, iyo walaalihiis, iyo farcankaas oo dhanba way wada dhinteen.

7 B ut the sons of Israel had many children, and the people became many in number. There were so many that the land was filled with them.

Oo reer binu Israa'iilna waa bateen, oo aad bay u kordheen, wayna tarmeen, oo aad iyo aad u xoogaysteen; dhulkiina way buuxiyeen.

8 T hen a new king came into power over Egypt. He did not know Joseph.

Haddaba Masar waxaa ka kacay boqor cusub oo aan Yuusuf aqoonin.

9 H e said to his people, “See, the people of Israel are too many and too powerful for us.

Markaasuu wuxuu dadkiisii ku yidhi, Bal eega, dadkii reer binu Israa'iil waa inaga badan yihiin, wayna inaga xoog weyn yihiin.

10 C ome, let us be wise in how we act towards them, or they will become more in number. If there is a war, they might join with those who hate us. They might fight against us and then leave the land.”

Kaalaya, aynu si caqli ah ula macaamiloonnee; waaba intaasoo ay tarmaan, oo ay markuu dagaal dhaco cadaawayaasheenna inoogu darmadaan, oo intay inala diriraan ay dalka ka baxaane.

11 S o they put men in power over them to make them work hard. And they built the store-cities Pithom and Raamses for Pharaoh the king.

Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed ayay niman madax uga dhigeen si ay culaabtooda ugu dhibaan, oo waxay Fircoon u dhiseen magaalooyin wax lagu kaydiyo oo la yidhaahdo Fitom iyo Racmeses.

12 B ut the more the Egyptians made them suffer, the more they became until they spread throughout the land. So the Egyptians were afraid of the people of Israel.

Laakiinse in kastoo ay aad u dhibeen, haddana aad bay u sii tarmeen, oo aad bay u faafeen. Oo reer binu Israa'iil aawadood ayay la murugaysnaayeen.

13 T he Egyptians made the people of Israel work very hard.

Oo Masriyiintiina waxay reer binu Israa'iil ku qasbeen inay qaxar ku adeegaan,

14 T hey made their lives bitter with hard work building with stones and with all kinds of work in the field. They made them work very hard.

oo waxay naftoodii ku dhibeen hawl aad u adag, oo ahayd dhoobo la qaso, iyo leben, iyo hawl kasta oo beeraha laga qabto, oo hawl kastoo ay ku qasbeen inay qabtaanba way ku qaxri jireen.

15 T hen the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew nurses. The name of one was Shiphrah. The name of the other was Puah.

Markaasaa boqorkii Masar wuxuu la hadlay umulisooyinkii Cibraaniyadaha ahaa, oo middood magaceeda Shifraah la odhan jiray, tan kale magaceedana Fuwah la odhan jiray,

16 H e said, “When you are helping the Hebrew women to give birth, and see the baby before the mother does, if it is a son, kill him. But if it is a daughter, let her live.”

oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Markii aad umulinaysaan naagaha Cibraaniyadaha, oo aad aragtaan iyagoo gambarka umusha fadhiya, haddii uu wiil yahay, waa inaad dishaan, haddayse gabadh tahay, ha iska noolaato.

17 B ut the nurses feared God. They did not do what the king of Egypt told them. They let the boys live.

Laakiinse umulisooyinkii Ilaah bay ka cabsadeen, mana ay samayn wixii boqorkii Masar ku amray, ee way badbaadiyeen carruurtii labka ahayd.

18 S o the king of Egypt called the nurses and said to them, “Why have you done this, and let the boys live?”

Markaasaa boqorkii Masar u yeedhay umulisooyinkii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Maxaad waxan u samayseen, oo aad u badbaadiseen carruurtii labka ahayd?

19 T he nurses answered Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women. They are strong. They give birth before the nurse comes to them.”

Markaasaa umulisooyinkii waxay Fircoon ku yidhaahdeen, Maxaa yeelay, naagaha Cibraaniyaduhu la mid ma aha naagaha Masriga, oo waa ka dhaqso badan yihiin, oo intii aan umulisooyinku u iman bay umulaan.

20 S o God was good to the nurses. And the people became many and strong.

Haddaba Ilaah si wanaagsan buu u sameeyey umulisooyinkii, dadkiina waa tarmay, oo aad bay u xoogaysteen.

21 B ecause the nurses feared God, He gave them families.

Oo waxay noqotay, in Ilaah umulisooyinkii reero u yeelay, maxaa yeelay, Ilaah bay ka cabsadeen.

22 T hen Pharaoh told all his people, “Throw every son who is born to the Hebrews into the Nile. But keep every daughter alive.”

Markaasaa Fircoon wuxuu dadkiisii ku amray, oo ku yidhi, Wiil kasta oo dhasha waa inaad webiga ku tuurtaan, laakiinse gabadh kasta waa inaad badbaadisaan.
